The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) was appreciated as a ´Research Institute´ or ´University of Research´ by Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata, in the later years of the 19th century. A long period of almost 13 years was to elapse from the first conception in 1896 to the birth of the institute on May 27, 1909. The early history of the Institute is a attractive chapter in the story of higher education and scientific research in India. The cast of characters in the drama that led to the formation of the Institute includes, in addition to its charismatic and benevolent founder J.N. Tata, figures from the pages of Indian history.
